Tn the beautiful village of Keachi, located in
i remarkably healthy place in DeSoto
Parish Louisiana, on the Shreveport and Hous
ton Railway, and also five miles from Gloster,
on the Texas and Pacific Railway and twenty
five miles south of Shreveport and eight miles
from the Texas State line, the famous Keachi
College, now attracting so much favorable
attention on account of its matchless plan of
operations and its superior methods, is located.
1t is great enterprise unfettered by sec arian-
ism and doing a work that will cause future
generations to rise up and call it blessed 1t
has made Keachi the favorite resort of noble
youths of both sexes in search of higher eduea-
ton according to our improved methods. We
have had during the past year a greater num-
Der of boarding pupils at the College than any
other institution in Louisiana. We have seven
male members of much experience and very
distinguished ability in the faculty and fine
array of female talent besides We graduated
twelve noble youths of both sexes from Texas
Louisiana and Mississippi, June 10, 1887, and
have many talented undergraduates to whom
we point with great pride and satisfaction
The classic atmosphere at our College and the
refining influence in the faculty and among
the pupils together with that nobility OF
character emanating from a cOnsecrated facul-
ty and devoted classes OF the very best young
people of both sexes tend always to produce
the highest type of precious wOmanhood. We
are not surprised to see the fame of Keachi
College filling the whole country We have
undertaken great things. The celebrated Prof.
